BRUNSWICK, Maine – Cody Todesco scored with under two minutes remaining in regulation to extend the Bowdoin men's ice hockey team's winning streak and defeat visiting Middlebury 2-1 on Saturday afternoon.

The Polar Bears climb to 7-7-3 (5-5-3 NESCAC) following a pair of NESCAC victories this weekend. The Panthers leave Maine at 5-7-4 (4-2-4 NESCAC) with only their second conference blemish of the season.

Game Highlights

• Bowdoin went up 1-0 midway through the opening period off a Matt Sullivan goal. Brendan Conroy directed the puck towards Stephen Klein on the right post, with Klein denying the initial shot, but Sullivan put away the rebound from the doorstop.
• Vincent Gisonti evened the game on a power play deflection 10:40 into the second frame. Ronald Fishman found a lane from just outside the right faceoff circle and sent the puck through traffic where Gisonti got a touch for the equalizer.
• Paul Falvey and the Panthers came out firing in the opening seconds of the final period, with the senior getting a quick touch in front that was turned away by Peter Cronin.
• Mike Najjar challenged Cronin with a clapper in the 13^th minute that was gloved out of the air to keep the game knotted at 1-1.
• Daniel McMullan started the game-winning play with a feed to Conroy streaking down the center. Inside Middlebury territory Conroy skated on goal before dishing right to Todesco. Todesco made a move to his right before dragging back across towards the far post and besting Klein.
